This has been LONG overdue for UWGB. In my years at GB (1992-1997), you had to complete your pre-engineering studies at GB, then transfer to UW, UWM, UWP, MSOE, or go out of state to complete your engineering degree. The demand for STEM is ever-increasing and there was no reason why (until now) that the 3rd largest city in WI (and NE WI at large) did not have a 4-year engineering program in the area. With the Medical College of WI (MCW) opening up a campus at SNC, this also helps the overall profile for NE WI. The current enrollment is about 7100-7200; Hope this engineering program (with additional offerings) eventually pushes the enrollment to over 8000. In talking to one of my buddies who is a Mech Engineer, he said that a Mech Engineering degree is a very versatile engineering degree to have (not as niched like Nuclear Engineering, for example) and a good start for GB's budding engineering program. Hope they add programs like Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering in the coming years. Maybe as GB's engineering program gets more established, I can see a potential partnership with the MCW maybe for a a biomedical engineering degree.
